Ethical behavior by therapists is important because

a. clients share personal information
b. clients don't expect to get better during therapy
c. therapy is ineffective
d. therapy is complex

#1) Ethical behavior by therapists is important because
The answer is a. clients share personal information. As sensitive and deeply personal topics are often discussed during psychotherapy, therapists are expected, and usually legally bound, to respect client or patient confidentiality. The critical importance of client confidentiality—and the limited circumstances in which it may need to be broken for the protection of clients or others—is enshrined in the regulatory psychotherapeutic organizations' codes of ethical practice.
